About World Anti-Counterfeit Day

The World Anti Counterfeit Day (WACD) was initiated in 1998 by the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group (GACG) with the main objective being to facilitate information exchange and sharing of best practices and to participate in appropriate joint enforcement and awareness activities to solve international IPR enforcement challenges. This year the GACG commemorated the day on 10th June 2019; while other countries all over the world follow suit within the month of June
